SUMMARY:An Author Experience with Gary D. Schmidt
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to welcome Gary to Zeeland and offer students the rare opportunity to meet the author whose work they may be reading and discussing both in and out of the classroom.\n \nRather than a traditional lecture\, the evening will be an interactive conversation in which members of the audience will have the opportunity to hear from Gary. Students can ask questions and engage in discussions about writing\, reading\, storytelling\, and the themes found in his works. Join us in the Banquet Room for this unique and interactive author visit! \nWe also have a form where students can submit questions for Gary ahead of time. Here is the link to the form:\nhttps://forms.cloud.microsoft/g/QtcdXbk38Q
